The FCC Has an Opportunity to Prepare the Internet for AI

Here’s the bad news: Today’s broadband ecosystem is not ready for artificial intelligence. The sheer amount of data handled and moved by AI is already crowding America’s bandwidth. Without infrastructure upgrades to keep up with the ever-accelerating AI boom, consumers’ communications services will decay. The challenge for America’s politicians is to accelerate the modernization of America’s telecommunications networks so they can reliably support the AI revolution.

Now, the good news: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will soon decide how to let private companies rise to the occasion. This Thursday, the commissioners will vote to streamline federal rules governing how companies upgrade their networks.
